Brett Whitely is an Australian artist. He won several prizes such as the Archibald PRize. One of his famous paintings is the "Self portrait of studio"
I would think that's a very philosophical question that the artist would have to answer for himself.
The controversy surrounding Brett Whiteley's win of the Archibald prize in 1976 stemmed from accusations that his painting, "Self Portrait in the Studio," contained elements that were not painted by the artist himself, specifically the background. Some claimed that the painting violated the rules of the competition. However, Whiteley defended his work, stating that the background was necessary to convey the artist's environment and process. Ultimately, Whiteley was allowed to keep the prize.

Yes, artists are allowed to use a camera when painting a portrait for the Archibald Prize. They can take photographs of their subjects as reference material to aid in the painting process. However, the final artwork must be an original painting, and the use of photography should not replace the artist's creative input and technique.
